  • Patent number: 11521388
    Abstract: This ball game video analysis device: receives movie frames captured by cameras; computes the trajectory of the three-dimensional positions of a ball using the received multiple movie frames; determines, on the basis of a change in the ball trajectory, whether or not any action has been made by a player with respect to the ball; in the case when there has been such an action, selects, as an action frame, the movie frame corresponding to the timing at which said action was made; and identifies, from the action frame, a player who made that action.

  • Patent number: 11135502
    Abstract: A motional state of a player in a video displaying the player in motion is easily determined. This player state display system includes a display device which displays a player video that includes information related to a motional state of the player. A processor generates, based on information that is obtained from an analysis video obtained by capturing the player in motion, a player state display image obtained by visualizing a movement zone corresponding to at least one predetermined motion of the player, and generates, as the player video, a video obtained by superimposing the player state display image on the video including the player in motion.

  • Patent number: 10957051
    Abstract: To provide a motion video segmenting method, a motion video segmenting device, and a motion video processing system that are capable of reducing variation of time required for processing in a case where a motion video is segmented at a predetermined time, and an image processing device performs predetermined processing on a segmented motion video. The motion video segmenting device calculates a load value for each pack based on a rate of an image in which a difficulty degree is high included in the pack, and determines an image processing device having a smallest accumulation value of the load value of the pack which is transmitted previously as the transmission destination when image processing device which is the transmission destination of the pack is determined.

  • Patent number: 10888764
    Abstract: To precisely identify a state of an athlete who is present in a swimming pool, a processor used in a device for identifying a state of an athlete or a method for identifying a state of an athlete refers to a result of performing processing of detecting the athlete in a video image obtained by imaging the athlete who is present in the swimming pool and identifies an advancing direction of the athlete as a direction that is different from the previous advancing direction on the basis of a result of the detection of the athlete after the athlete is present in a region on the side of an end of the swimming pool. In this manner, it is possible to more accurately identify the advancing direction of the athlete and to thereby precisely identify the state of the athlete who is present in the swimming pool.
